Could it be that... Choi Jung-sook was pretending to be crazy all along?!
Two hours later, he called Ke Junchen.
"Hello?" Ke Junchen was sleeping soundly when a phone call disturbed his sweet dream.
"I want to see you in the palace in an hour at the latest." Without giving Ke Junchen a chance to speak, he hung up the phone.
Ke Junchen, who was sleeping in a daze, felt less sleepy when he heard Gong Bingye's voice. However, he looked at the time. It was only one o'clock in the morning. He had to go to the palace garden at this time?
Ke Junchen felt wronged, but he had to obey.
Forty minutes later, Ke Junchen stood at the gate of the palace with sleepy eyes.
The servants all went to rest, so Gong Bingye had to get up and open the door himself.
"Prince, can't we wait until tomorrow to talk about our matter?" Ke Junchen felt so upset that he almost cried.
"Stop talking nonsense!" Gong Bingye pulled him in.
The living room was large and it was late at night, and every word they spoke seemed to be amplified infinitely.
So, Gong Bingye took Ke Junchen to the study.
Ke Junchen came to the study, sat on the stool, and fell asleep.
He said dazedly, "Prince, please tell me what's going on. I still have to research medicine for Ms. Cui tomorrow."
Gong Bingye snorted coldly and said angrily, "I think your reputation as a miraculous doctor is about to fade away."
Ke Junchen shuddered, and suddenly he was no longer sleepy. His eyes widened. He thought Gong Bingye was going to ban him, and quickly begged for mercy, "My Lord, look, I'm here, aren't I? Why are you still so arrogant?"
"I'm asking you, where is Cui Jingshu?" Gong Bingye leaned against the desk and stared at Ke Junchen and asked.
Ke Junchen was stunned by the question and said uncertainly: "Should he still be at my house?"
During this period, Ms. Cui was crazy and didn't go home every few days, but in the end, she would go back.
Gong Bingye: "Ms. Cui is now living in the palace garden with the maid."
"In the palace?" Ke Junchen was surprised for a moment, and then the image of Cui Jingshu and Xia Xingchen hugging each other in front of the TV station a while ago flashed through his mind. "What's so surprising about that? They are mother and daughter after all! Reconciliation is a matter of time."
Gong Bingye frowned, his eyes cold, "So, you knew this a long time ago?"
Ke Junchen spoke truthfully, "I also found out about it accidentally some time ago."
Then, he looked up and asked curiously, "Why? Such a big thing, doesn't the prince know about it?"
The Crown Prince really cares about Xia Xingchen, how could he not know about this? !
"Since you knew this was a big deal, why didn't you tell me right away?" Gong Bingye was furious.
Ke Junchen seemed very aggrieved and said in a low voice, "I thought you knew."
"Have you cured Cui Jingshu's illness?" Gong Bingye asked again.
When Ke Junchen talked about this, he got a headache. "No, Ms. Cui's illness is sometimes better and sometimes worse. I think she is suffering from heart disease. When she can truly accept the fact that Xia Xingkong is dead, her illness will be cured."
Gong Bingye snorted coldly, "I think the famous Divine Doctor is only this good. In that case, I'll just rescind this title."
"Prince...Prince!" Ke Junchen was very frightened.
Gong Bingye said word by word, "You've been watching for so long, didn't you realize that Cui Jingshu was pretending to be crazy?"
"She's more normal than anyone else."
Although Ke Junchen didn't know that Cui Jingshu was pretending to be crazy, he was not too surprised when he heard Gong Bingye's words.
At the beginning, Cui Jingshu's mind was very unclear, and he prescribed medicine for her. After taking it for a period of time, he found that Cui Jingshu's mind was clear for a moment, but from then on, no matter what medicine he prescribed for Cui Jingshu, Cui Jingshu was in this state.
He thought Cui Jingshu was suffering from a mental illness and had never gotten over the pain of losing Xia Xingkong.
But what he didn't expect was that Choi Jung-sook was actually pretending, and her subsequent madness was all acted out by her.
I have to say, Choi Jung-sook’s acting is really good!
She can win an Oscar for Best Actress...
For Xia Xingchen's sake, Ke Junchen was not angry at Cui Jingshu's deception. After all, Xia Xingchen was Cui Jingshu's biological daughter and the prince's mother-in-law.
Ke Junchen advised: "Prince, Ms. Cui is no longer pretending to be crazy, and she has such a good relationship with Miss Xia. This is a good thing. As long as Miss Xia is in a good mood and doesn't feel too much pressure, it will also help her illness."
"Ms. Cui has already come out of her dark days, and I believe Miss Xia will be able to do the same soon."
Gong Bingye glanced at him sideways and said, "Don't leave yet. Check the girl's body tomorrow morning."
Ke Junchen agreed verbally, but felt wronged in his heart.
Gong Bingye hadn't slept all night. He looked a little tired, with dark bags under his eyes. He didn't rush to the company. As soon as it was dawn, he dragged Ke Junchen to the living room and waited for Xia Xingchen to wake up.
Xia Xingchen slept until noon before coming down from upstairs chatting and laughing with Cui Jingshu.
The scene was obviously warm and harmonious, but for some reason, Gong Bingye felt heartbroken when he saw it.
Xia Xingchen, who was talking to Cui Jingshu, saw Gong Bingye sitting on the sofa at first sight. She immediately shook off Cui Jingshu and ran downstairs happily, "Hubby, when did you come back?"
Last night, she waited for him very late.
Gong Bingye's eyes dodged and he lied, "Just got back."
Seeing Gong Bingye's exhausted face, Xia Xingchen felt distressed, "You..."
She subconsciously wanted to hold Gong Bingye's arm, but before her hand touched him, his upper body suddenly leaned back and leaned directly against the back of the sofa.
She paused, then said awkwardly, "I'm tired after a long night. Why don't you go back to the bedroom and get some sleep?"
At this time, Cui Jingshu walked over with a smile and greeted Gong Bingye warmly, "Oh, son-in-law is back. It must be very hard at work. Take care of yourself."
Gong Bingye's hands rested lazily on the back of the chair, and he glanced at Cui Jingshu intentionally or unintentionally, saying something with a hidden meaning: "Ms. Cui, please be careful with your words. Don't think that just because the girl forgives you, you can erase the harm you have done to her."
Cui Jingshu could see that Gong Bingye still had hostility towards her.
She tried to explain, but just as she opened her mouth to speak, Gong Bingye waved his hand, strangling her words in the cradle.
Cui Jingshu stood there, feeling very embarrassed, not knowing what to say for a moment, so she looked at Xia Xingchen for help.
"Hubby, my mother also cares about you. She said she will treat me well in the future. You should be nicer to her." Xia Xingchen spoke for Cui Jingshu.
Gong Bingye stared at Xia Xingchen intently, his eyes almost seeing through her. After a while, Xia Xingchen, perhaps shy or guilty of being stared at, quickly changed the subject.
Gong Bingye signaled Ke Junchen with her eyes, and Ke Junchen walked up to Xia Xingchen and said politely, "Miss Xia, please come upstairs with me so I can check your body."
"Physical examination?" Xia Xingchen's face turned ugly.
